Static

girl named sam

RPM 2013

can you hear me
doing my best
tapping the glass
in an S.O.S.
I think I’m going under

it’s too much
pulling me down
wants and the needs
and the give me now
oh is it any wonder

I’m barely holding on

all my words get
lost in static
blown away by your
radio waves
all my words get
lost in static
swallowed up by your
radio buzz

oh you love this
turning it up
edge of my seat’s
never far enough
I’m hanging on a wire

and the mic cracks
every note
all the goodbyes
caught in my throat
you push a little higher

I’m barely holding on

all my words get
lost in static
blown away by your
radio waves
all my words get
lost in static
swallowed up by your
radio buzz

and I try to tune myself to you
and go along
but these frequencies are crushing me
I’m not that strong

I’m barely holding on

all my words get
lost in static
blown away by your
radio waves
all my words get
lost in static
swallowed up by your
radio buzz
